Washington -- Following today’s 54-0 vote in favor of self-driving legislation out of the House Energy & Commerce Committee, the Self-Driving Coalition for Safer Streets issued the following statement from general counsel David Strickland:

“Today’s legislation passed out of the House Energy & Commerce Committee brings the U.S. closer to the vision of a single, national framework for self-driving vehicles on our roads and highways. We will continue to work with Members of Congress on policies that accomplish our shared goals for safer streets and increased mobility for elderly, disabled, and underserved communities.”
